On their sophomore release for ECM, Fly continues to defy the conventions of the sax/bass/drums trio. The extraordinary musicians, Mark Turner, Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard equally share creative responsibilities, never focusing on each individual soloist. A deep reflection on jazz history, the program is a sonic achievement.

Reviews

"Cerebral, intense and techinically astute, the role-swapping set threads the five austere improvisations of šThe Western Lands' through a programme of strong themes, bustling escapades and jaunty ruminations." - Mike Hobert, Financial Times
